Title: Stock market crash
Post by Melanias purse on Mar 23rd, 2026 at 12:13pm
US stocks have dived. In Australia, they're down over 10%, with the ASX diving further when trading started today.

Slowly, as the fog of war starts to clear, we can see the mullahs regrouping, pulling out the big guns - an attack on Tel Aviv right after DL said he'd knocked out their missile launchers. Tit for tat attacks on Gulf gas and oil plants - right after Israel and the US hits theirs. Worse, the attempted strike on British base Diego Garcia, over 4000 km from Iran, shows the mullahs have intercontinental missiles, capable of reaching Europe and the US.

The US is now in a war with a country of 92 million people, a million of them soldiers. It took 250,000 US troops to hold Iraq. Analysts estimate 500,000 troops would be needed to defeat Iran.

No one could envisage a country like the US, with all of its military intelligence, planning and prowess, could be so stupid as to start a war they'd lose. DL just issued a threat to attack Iranian electricity production.

Iran calmly replied that if so, it will hit the Gulf states' power stations. Not only would this effect the populations in the Gulf, it would hit the global stock market immediately.

Right now, every day is a new loss. It's now becoming a question of whether the markets can prevail at all. How low can it go? Will 2026 be the end of 15 years of bull markets? What if the stock market crashes entirely?

Iran has the power to do this. Karma's a bitch, no?

How does it feeeeel?

Incorrect. Our markets have crashed because of one action and one man: your DL.

You can't blame Islam here, dear. This one's all about he.

No coalitions of the willing, no UN or Congressional approval. One man - with a disapproval rating of 61%.

No no, how do you feel about your DL tanking the markets?

That's the subject of this thread. If we wanted to know about prawns, we would have posted the question in FD's sustainable fishing board.

Do you not want to answer?

Diaper Don has made many bad mistakes in his worthless life, but illegally invading Iran - and deliberately slaughtering hundreds of little school girls - might just be his biggest one yet.

Would it be a war crime for Trump to destroy the electrical power stations in Iran?
They serve mostly the civilian population.
Could US pilots refuse orders to carry out such a war crime?

I know. Thing is, he started WWIII so he could distract from the Storm.

Remember that one? He was going to to arrest all the kiddie fiddlers and drain the swamp, do you recall?

So not only has he stopped the storm and started WWIII, he's gone and tanked the entire global economy.

What do you think about that?

Strange. We don't recall you saying that when discussing the covid crash of 2020.

No, sir. We remember you blaming it on Sleepy Joe in 2024.

Uncanny, we said. Sleepy didn't get in until 2021.

Your DL gave Iran 48 hours to "open" the Strait of Hormuz - or else.

He has 20 hours left to carry out his ultimatum. So I'm curious.

With Iran now proven capable of firing intercontinental ballistic missiles, what do you think your DL's gonna do?

a) Invade a country with one million active troops on the ground, and an additional 300,000 reservists.

b) Declare mission accomplished, withdraw and cease all operations.

c) Wait and see what happens.

Slowly, as the fog of war starts to clear, we can see the mullahs regrouping, pulling out the big guns - an attack on Tel Aviv right after DL said he'd knocked out their missile launchers. Tit for tat attacks on Gulf gas and oil plants - right after Israel and the US hits theirs. Worse, the attempted strike on British base Diego Garcia, over 4000 km from Iran, shows the mullahs have intercontinental missiles, capable of reaching Europe and the US.

The US is now in a war with a country of 92 million people, a million of them soldiers. It took 250,000 US troops to hold Iraq. Analysts estimate 500,000 troops would be needed to defeat Iran.

No one could envisage a country like the US, with all of its military intelligence, planning and prowess, could be so stupid as to start a war they'd lose. DL just issued a threat to attack Iranian electricity production.

Iran calmly replied that if so, it will hit the Gulf states' power stations. Not only would this effect the populations in the Gulf, it would hit the global stock market immediately.

Right now, every day is a new loss. It's now becoming a question of whether the markets can prevail at all. How low can it go? Will 2026 be the end of 15 years of bull markets? What if the stock market crashes entirely?

Here you go, chicken little:

https://www.daytrading.com/sp-500-average-percent-gain-in-up-year-vs-down-year


What Percent of the Years are Down Years and What Percent are Up Years?
Based on historical data for the S&P 500 index going back to 1928:

Up Years
Approximately 72% of the calendar years have been positive/up years for the S&P 500.

Down Years
Approximately 28% of the calendar years have been negative/down years for the S&P 500.

So nearly 3 out of every 4 years have seen the S&P 500 rise over the calendar year period, while just over 1 out of every 4 years have produced a down year for the index.

Note that down years can cluster together, like during the Great Depression years of the 1930s or the multi-year bear market of the early 2000s after the tech bubble burst.

But overall, the historical data shows that positive years outweigh negative years by about a 2.6-to-1 ratio for the S&P 500 index over its lifetime.

Long term the stock market is always a net gain.

As far as Iran goes, it is about 47 years late. This is what Reagan should have done the day after his first inaguration.

While in America, with the Democrats back in power - the illegal scum of the earth invaders conduct their own jihad against American citizens without consequence.

Chaos and destruction comes to the world as France and the Democrats cry for help!
Trump just sits in his chair saying "Why don't you pour your precious petrol on your flames"  ::)
The Democrats and France want to commit SUICIDE and maybe even Trump can't prevent them from doing so.

Slight chance. Because, sometimes it's like that. :(



Trump is the story of Johnny Rotten -

better to burn out than to fade away.

Sounds like we're about to experience TACO again (assuming any of this is true, of course. I don't know about anyone else but I never believe a word that comes out of Trump's mouth lately).

Kinda reminds me of this from last year:

Trump told investors to 'buy' on social media hours before his tariff pause rose stocks, raising questions about manipulation


Quote:
NEW YORK (AP) — When Donald Trump offered some financial advice Wednesday morning, stocks were wavering between gains and losses.

But that was about to change.

"THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT," he wrote on his social media platform Truth Social at 9:37 a.m.



Quote:
Less than four hours later, Trump announced a 90-day pause on nearly all his tariffs. Stocks soared on the news, closing up 9.5% by the end of trading. The market, measured by the S&P 500, gained back about $4 trillion, or 70%, of the value it had lost over the previous four trading days.


The only difference here is we'll probably soon be seeing "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO SELL!!! DJT," on Truth Social.

And, yes - it looks like Trump was lying, Bobby.

Trump ALWAYS lies.

"TACO Trump"

Iran Calls BS on TACO Trump’s Peace Talks Claim


Quote:
Iran officials have contradicted Donald Trump’s claim of “productive” talks with the regime and suggested his decision to postpone strikes on Iranian power plants was a sign of a panicking president.



Quote:
“There is no direct or indirect contact with Trump. He retreated after hearing that our targets would be all power plants in West Asia,” the source said.

The Iranian Embassy in Kabul also stated on X, “After the Islamic Republic threatened that in the event of any American attack on Iran’s energy infrastructure, the energy infrastructure of the entire region would be targeted, Trump backed down and said he had issued an order to postpone the attack.”



Quote:
When pressed about Iran’s contradicting claims, Trump also gave a novel reason: that it’s hard to get information from Iran because the U.S. is blowing up so much of its infrastructure.

“They’re going to have to get themselves better public relations people,” he added.

“We have a very serious chance of making a deal,” he said.

“I think if I were betting, man, I’d bet for it. But again, I’m not guaranteeing anything. They want to make a deal very badly.”

Bear in mind, leftards, one of Iran's strikes on a gas plant in Bahrain cost $20 bil this year alone - another $20 bil next year if it's not back up.

The White House and Pentagon are currently freaking out. Iran warned them this would happen, DL called their bluff, and this is what you get.

The US has approved every bomb Israel dropped. This entire war is being faught by computer with deliberate strikes from all sides.

DL isn't."accidentally" crashing the global economy, he's shorting it. All of Iran's strikes are a response to DL's attacks, wiping billions off publicly-traded securities.

Iran now holds the economy of the entire world in its hands. The Mullahs will be calling in share orders to their friends in London, you can guarantee it.

They've gone from being a pariah state to holding Uncle over a barrel.

Trump really is the gift that keeps on giving, just not in the way his supporters imagined.

This was an open-book exercise. The warnings weren't subtle, they were explicit, repeated, and grounded in observable policy positions tied to things like Project 2025 and the track record of Donald Trump himself. Yet instead of engaging with that reality, his supporters dismissed it as hysteria, because it was politically convenient to do so.

Now the consequences are beginning to materialise, economic instability, geopolitical escalation, and policy settings that were entirely predictable if you were paying even a minimal level of attention. And if you weren't, or chose not to be, you don't get to dodge the fallout now that it's hitting wallets and livelihoods. Crashing markets and cost-of-living blowouts don't care about political loyalty, they are directly tied to the decisions that were made and cheered on.

And suddenly the same people who mocked those warnings are acting surprised, or worse, pretending this was unavoidable.

No, it wasn't unavoidable. It was chosen.

And that's the part that sticks in the throat, the rest of us, including those well outside the United States, are now exposed to the fallout of decisions we didn't make, driven by voters who were repeatedly told exactly what would happen and chose to ignore it anyway.

You don't get to wave this away as bad luck or unforeseeable complexity. This is the direct result of political choices, made in full view of the evidence, and defended with a level of blind loyalty that bordered on wilful ignorance.

If people are angry, they've earned that right. What they shouldn't be expected to do is pretend this came out of nowhere, or that those who sounded the alarm were somehow the problem.
